Nikon, the camera-maker, has appointed SapientNitro, the digital agency owned by Publicis Groupe, to its £30 million integrated advertising account across Europe.

SapientNitro picks up £30m Euro Nikon brief

SapientNitro won the business after a competitive pitch handled directly by Nikon. There was no intermediary involved in the process.

The agency will work across creative, digital and social channels. 

Jung von Matt, the Hamburg-based shop, became Nikon’s retained creative agency in Europe in 2009, when the account was worth €50 million.

In 2010, the shop created the "I am" campaign, which showed different people expressing their personality with a Nikon camera. 

In the same year, Nikon sponsored Hollyoaks, the Channel 4 soap, and hired the singer Robbie Williams to front a campaign for its Coolpix digital camera.

MediaCom handles media planning and buying for Nikon, while McCann New York oversees the creative account in the US.
